Cop resigns over craigslist ad

Oviedo officer resigns after online sex ads, photos uncovered:

Scott Woodlee, a 12-year veteran of the Oviedo, Florida Police Department, resigned after an ad he placed on craigslist was discovered. Can you guess what kind of ad it was?

The posts solicited for men, women as well as couples on the “Casual Encounters” section of CraigsList. The Web site asks those who click on that section whether they are over 18 years of age but doesn’t verify it through a birth date.

“…the ads were very explicit, seeking married couples, single women, college girls, interracial ladies,” a memo from Lt. George Ilemsky, head of the department’s internal investigation department, wrote in his report.

According to the article Woodlee’s naked craigslist pic has his face obscured and he claims the ad was done for ‘entertainment’.

I’ve covered this at MyCrimeSpace several times. When you’re a public servant like a policeman or fireman your life is scrutinized 24/7 whether you like it or not. Even off duty you still represent the uniform.

I hate to see a cop resign over something stupid like this but I’m not surprised.
